what is a WBU??? another joke body along w/IBO & a few others... RJJ needs 2 pack it in if he looses 2 this average, light hitting guy...

Roy's opponent doesn't seem to be a hard puncher by his KO record so I suppose we're safe from seeing Roy slumped over again by opponents he would have destroyed years earlier.

If you don't know WBU it's a your problem but don't derid ROY and the belt.A lot of past WBU former champs had a great carrer starting from that title,HATTON,MANFREDY,WARD,CORRIE SANDERS and i can go on. Anyway WBU has better days obviously the years before 2006.

He got about $20 million for the Ruiz fight. Y'all musta forgot how much money he was generating.

PS : Shenmue is the greatest game ever! (I consider Shenmue 1 & 2 to be a single game).

I know Jones received 20 million after the ppv residuals for the Ruiz fight but he got 10 million initially for the fight. Jones is my favorite fighter of all time. His best years are behind him though. I would like him to stop fighting but he can't make them millions not fighting. The commentary gig will not pay him like that.

PS. for Shenmue I am in the same boat with you. Too bad the franchise didn't get popular enough to make enough money for Sega to make part 3 for us. I am still pissed off how Shenmue 1 & 2 leaves you hanging not to fight Landi.

The only way RJ don't get robbed is if he goes there and puts on a boxing clinic. If this fight is left in the hands of the judges...RJ will have another L on his record. Classic Roy better show up and prepared for war or he will be a stepping stone for his opponent's career. I have RJ winning this by Decision if the REAL JONES JR...shows up.

The real Roy Jones is 10 years in the past.
